What the papers say

The latest machinations on Brexit are among the stories making the front pages in Sunday’s papers.

The Sunday Times carries reports of former ministers looking at “hijacking Brexit” in what the paper calls “a very British coup”. There is also a column from former prime minister Sir John Major in which he writes Britain should “take time out and revoke Article 50”.

The Sunday Telegraph also runs with Brexit, suggesting that the Conservatives are on the “brink of an historic split” over Britain’s departure from the European Union as a parliamentary vote on Theresa May’s vote nears.
